The first-ever UFC featherweight title fight is in the works for UFC 125, pitting WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo against Josh Grispi.
Aldo (18-1, 8-0 WEC) has blazed a path of destruction through the featherweight decision and has garnered serious consideration as the top pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. The 24-year-old Brazilian has finished seven of his eight WEC bouts and most recently knocked out Manny Gamburyan at WEC 51 in September.
Grispi (14-1, 4-0 WEC) is on a ten-fight winning streak and has not lost since 2007. Grispi was originally scheduled to face Erik Koch at WEC 52, but was pulled from the card in favor of the championship bout.

Win (KO - Punches) Manny Gamburyan - WEC 51
